Sorry to every podcast Ive ever been on.
When I dont know where to start, I find words that can only have one meaning.
ERM can only be a filler word, so theres definitely a group of those.
RATCHED, with that spelling, can only be the fictional nurse.
LIKE could serve multiple purposes.
(I didnt know Nurse RATCHED had her own show, but apparentlyshe does.)
Where is the fourthaha, its ER, as in E.R., for Emergency Room.
Finallywe can get the full collection of filler words: UM, UH, ERM, WELL.
Youll see a game board with 16 tiles, each with one word or phrase.
Your job is to select a group of four tiles that have something in common.
Select four items and hit the Submit button.
If you guessed correctly, the category and color will be revealed.
(Yellow is easiest, followed by green, then blue, then purple.)
If your guess was incorrect, youll get a chance to retry.
You win when youve correctly identified all four groups.
But if you make four mistakes before you finish, the game ends and the answers are revealed.
Expect to see overlapping groups.
So dont hit submit until youve confirmed that your group of four containsonlythose four things.
If youre stuck, another strategy is to look at the words that seem to havenoconnection to the others.
